Connected reveals the hidden dynamics of our social ties and the profound ways they shape thoughts, emotions, and actions. Drawing on groundbreaking studies, Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler illustrate how even distant connections—like a friend’s friend—can influence your weight, mood, and decisions.

Through accessible storytelling and rigorous analysis, the authors examine emotional contagion, the spread of health behaviors, the accumulation of wealth, and the ways we form partnerships. Engaging case studies show why a happy neighbor may boost your well-being more than a close family member, and how ideas ripple across communities.

Ideal for readers intrigued by social science and human behavior, Connected offers a fresh perspective on how networks govern everyday life and influence every choice.

• Data-driven insights on emotional and behavioral spread
